First of all I would reccomend following the guide.   I am / was a
noobie at gentoo, and I probably would have got stuck pretty early on
if I had'nt stuck to the guide as much as poss.

Again according to the guide - I have a SWAP, BOOT and ROOT partition
+ 2 partitions under WINDOWS 98 as drives C: and D:

My linux ROOT lives alongside D: as an extended partition running
as ReiserFS.

This all works reasonably well using LILO to manage multi booting.  I
hope this helps.
